ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2


I've been a fan of ProAc for many years. After selling my 2.5's and CJ amps a while back due to space constraints, I'm planning to put together a new system.

I heard the Usher Dancer Mini 2's at a local shop recently and was taken aback by the sense of space and depth of the images they produce. Tweeters had a tendency to sound steely on some recordings and mid-bass was a bit lumpy but otherwise I was impressed.

Unfortunately we don't have any ProAc dealers nearby, and I haven't heard any of the newer D lineup. I'd love to compare the D28 or D38 with the Ushers side by side.

Does anyone have any experience with these two speakers and how would you compare the two?

Thanks..

Mc4b, I think you definitely will need to listen for yourself. In the past, I was choosing between Proac and Martin Logan and ended up with ML. This was several years ago. Usher was the speakers that finally convinced me to switch back to dynamic speakers from electrostatic. However, I have not heard recent Proac speakers so I am not sure what they are like now. DMD definitely has lots of detail but is very very easy on the ear. I love the old BE tweeter but DMD is exceptional, in my opinion.
Hmmm... I actually thought that the new DMD tweeter is sweeter, fuller, more romantic sounding than the old BE tweeter. I had DMD tweeter replaced my old BE tweeter in my BE-20 a couple of months ago.
